I wouldn't buy a Ruger American on a bet. I can't stand plastic stocks or detatchable magazines. I like blued steel and polishing.....not something that looks like it came from a rattle-can. The tang safety is certainly no improvement over Ruger's wing safety.
I love Ruger products and Bill Ruger has made very few mistakes over the years, but I feel this is a big mistake. In an attempt to capture the "cheap" market Ruger has gone too far. This gun will decrease the reputation that Ruger spent decades building. Maybe good for someone else, but not for me.
